Vai'ava beach / KP18
Ultimate guide (October 2024)
Vai'ava is the best beach on
Tahiti island in French Polynesia. It is better known as
KP18, as the distance from Papeete is 18 km. In a contrast to most other beaches with depressive black sand, the sand at KP18 is quite light. In fact it's rather a mixture of sand with small pebbles, but it is still a very pleasant place. There are also a lot of palms, while entry into the water is very smooth. You can also find showers, toilets and barbecue tables. Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles.
